An Oklahoma House subcommittee voted against House Bill 2820 by a vote of 7-0. The bill, heard by the House Economic Development and Financial Services’ Subcommittee on Industry and Labor on Feb. 19, would have created the Motor Vehicle Owners Right to Repair Act.
The Automotive Service Association (ASA) believes Right to Repair legislation in Oklahoma would interfere with the voluntary, industry-supported service information process in place since the ASA-Automaker Agreement, which protects independent repairers and consumers. The National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) already accommodates identification and correction of gaps involved in the access of automotive service information, diagnostic tools and equipment, and training.
Ron Pyle, president and chief staff executive of the ASA, presented testimony Oct. 26, 2007, as part of an opposition panel to last session’s Right to Repair Bill.
